Wim,

The mapogr.cpp module really is C++ and requires a c++
compiler.  However, you can invoke gcc on it, and if it is
C++ enabled it will compile the module properly.  The problem
may arise later at link time.  Linking using gcc instead of g++
(or c++ as it is sometimes available) will result in the executable
not linking in C++ support libraries that are likely required by
mapogr.cpp.  To make this work you may need to find the name
of the C++ support libraries and explicitly include them in the link.
They are usually something like libstdc++.so so having -lstdc++ in
the link line may be sufficient.

To later these settings just edit the Makefile and alter all
occurances of g++ to gcc and add -lstdc++ in the EXE_LDFLAGS
variable.

Note that it is rather unusual in my experience to have gcc
installed without g++.  This may indicate that your GCC was
built without C++ support in which case you will not be able to
include the OGR support in MapServer.

Best regards,
